BSR*Promote because drunks always tell the truth.
-----------------------------
Alcohol stifles reasoning skills and contemplating repercussions. As a result, people are more likely to tell the truth while intoxicated, offering up brutally honest, unfiltered opinions. And without the fear of consequences, alcohol can give people the courage to do or say things they ordinarily wouldn't entertain.

Skilled pilot lands 757 in small Honduras airport
non_sequitur_per_seYeah this looks like it takes a lot of skill but what do I know lol
Lot of reasons to hate that approach plate---unstabilized and requires a lot of pilot skill...and then, if the pilot isn't skilled, stuff goes wrong.
Hong Kong's old Kai Tak---same thing.
The temptation is always to NOT stuff it into the ground on approach which overshoots touchdown---and then you're running down off the end of the runway...egads.
PILOT DIES, Passenger Lands King Air
MordhausHe was amazing, but I think he also was a pilot as well. Just not skilled on a plane of that size and type.
I admire how the passenger kept a cool head. His self control was more important in being able to control the plane.

Mark 38 Machine Gun Hits Small Boat Targets
newtboyTrue, but the argument itself suggests the rogue government would have a military we need to protect ourselves from with said rifles.
The public might have access to nearly equivalent rifles, but not the funds to buy those in great numbers. How many people do you know with a .50 caliber and the skills to use it?
Then there's all the weaponry you can't have. Grenades. Mortars. Armored armed vehicles. Drones. Navy guns. Missiles. I R scanning and other optical tech. Training. There's a lot more to the military than rifles.
With high tech warfare, guerrilla tactics should be far less effective than Vietnam, and Americans don't seem up to suicide bombing as a main tactic. It could sting them, but I don't think it could last like Red Dawn.
Once again, I'm pro gun, I have guns, I just think it's ludicrous to think they could fight the military. I'd be lucky to get a second shot off.
To be fair, that assumes that elements of the military or guard do not also join the rebellion. Additionally, guerrilla forces can at least make it too costly for a military to continue, e.g. Vietnam and Afghanistan.
As long as the public has access to rifles that are at least close to the level the basic infantryman has, there is a chance (albeit a small one) that the people could resist a government that turned it's back on the Constitution.
Unfriendly Wild Pheasant
newtboyReminds me of the Ameglian Major Cow (from Restaurant at the end of the Universe) only without the vocal skills to say clearly that it wants to be killed and eaten so it's resorted to body language.
Sky Brown the 12 year old girl and her mega ramp
SFOGuyIt's---frankly terrifying? Even if you were supremely confident in your physical body's skills, to be any age and launch down that ramp---my imagination (and several previously broken body parts) would not let me do it. I hope she is somehow never really hurt badly...
I didn't expect to watch more than 15 seconds of this, but was spell-bound. Where did she, at age 12, reach to take her step at 04:19? I'm in tears: thank you Sky.
